Low average yields. Selective manual harvest involving up to three passes through the vineyard. Wild-yeast fermentation in large 2,000-, 3,000- and 4,000-litre oak casks as well as in stainless steel vats. Then gentle pressing. Eleven months on the fine lees for added complexity and creaminess. No filtering or fining.
This Riesling has a nose of ripe white stone fruit, citrus zest, nuts and wet stone. Concentrated and powerful on the palate, albeit with a delicate, juicy structure, fine tannins and an immense amount of complexity. Long, driven, precise finish with citrus, saline and stony notes.
Steep slopes with a proportion of ungrafted vines growing on grey weathered Devonian slate soils that are rich in very coarse rhyolite and quartz porphyry.
